Brussels Travel Guide

Things to do in Brussels

Brussels is packed tight with historic buildings, monuments and
museums making a nearly impossibly long list of worthwhile
attractions. The best way to sightsee in Brussels is to pick
several personal niche interests and follow a tourist map
accordingly. Comic book fan? - there is a museum for you; chocolate
connoisseur (who isn''t)? - another for you. In fact, there are
nearly 75 great museums in Brussels alternating between explaining
Belgium''s long history, showcasing its art and architecture, and
just plain fun (more often than not, doing all three at once). Of
course, several city landmarks cannot be missed, the most important
is a visit to Mannekin-Pis, which when read carefully accurately
describes the statue of a boy peeing. After that rather weird
tradition, visitors are free to roam Brussels'' larger highlights
mostly walkable from the heart of Brussels, the Grand Place. The
ancient Hotel de Ville is Brussels best example of early
architecture and is almost as grand a sight as the Royal Palace.
Several of the best museums in the world include the Museum of
Ancient Art and the Museum of Modern Art, both housing Brussels
best art treasures. For the rest, much like the Belgians, relax,
enjoy and take it all in between pints of the city''s best
attraction, Belgium beer.
